[Sir Didier Drogba]

Van Gaal is going to fill United with Dutch players and they are all going to fight each other

Van Gaal is going to fill United with Dutch players and they are all going to fight each other

Then he will leave

 

[Pogba4Now]

van Gaal has struggled when managing teams with a lot of stars and ego. Like Holland 2002 and second spell at Barcelona. But Man Utd has no ego except for Rooney, and no stars except for a few.

Would be interesting to see how the Rooney-van Gaal relationship will go. Wouldn't be surprised if van Gaal gets rid of him.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

He is going to have a pretty big ego as his assistant manager.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Bro, Kagawa, Mata, and RvP all have huuuuuuge egos. Not to mention all the young players who are not so young anymore like Jones and Smalling who will want to be officially named as first team players.

 

[Mus]

Rooney's on 300k a week, you're not getting rid of him

 

[Xifio]

Hiddink's second era picks up pretty much where van Gaal's second era ended:

Cillessen, Vorm, Krul, Zoet;

Blind, de Vrij, Janmaat, Martins Indi, Pieters, van der Wiel, Veltman, Verhaegh, Vlaar;

Clasie, Nigel de Jong, Fer, Sneijder, van der Vaart, Wijnaldum;

Depay, Huntelaar, Kuyt, Lens, Robben, van Persie

surprising not to see de Guzmán called up ... but anyway, they'll give Conte an interesting test ...

 

[Xifio]

^ even more surprised now ... de Guzmán not only fit, but scores the winner in the 95th minute for his new club Napoli ...

I want to see Royston Drenthe back in the team.

 

[Xifio]

Goose fired ... place your bets ...

How wrong was I. van Gaal doesn't get rid of him; he makes him captain and therefore makes him "undroppable".

 

[Xifio]

Rooney must have professed the "Jari Litmanen dream" to van Gaal, as I suggested he do, and is thus reaping the rewards ...

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I'm sure Rooney is on the edge of his seat reading SG for your career advice

 

[Filipower]

You mean professional footballers don't read the forums? I've been here since 2002 just wasting time?

 

[fender]

Its like qualifying for WC 2002 all over again.

 

[chygry]

Yeah. :/ Damn I'm gonna cry should Holland not qualify for the Euros.

 

[yoyo913]

Not qualifying with this format would be ridiculous.

 

[kp41]

Dont they have wildcard in the current format ?

 

[RobbieD_PL]

Yeah. :/ Damn I'm gonna cry should Holland not qualify for the Euros.

Well they did lose all three game in Poland-Ukraine...

 

[kp41]

Their current squad is very weak other than few players ... LVG team simply overachieved in WC2014 ...

2-nil down at half-time against Turkey, preparing for Euro 2016 without them.
